Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

WakenPayne Dark forces older than time itself are on the attack, hell-bent on stopping the dawn of a wondrous new green age. Don't you hate when that happens? Even more shocking: Bender's in love with a married fembot, and Leela's on the run from the law - Zapp Brannigan's law! Fry is the last hope of the universe, recruited for an ultra-top-secret mission. Could this be the end of the Planet Express crew forever? Say it ain't so, meatbag! What This Being A Good Film...Thats Easy "Tt Ain't So". Some Comedy Films Are Great, Others Are Okay, Others Are In The "Bad But You Can See What They Were Trying To Do" Section, Others Are In The "Crap" Category At The Point Where You Can't See What They Were Doing & You Suspect The Writers Were On Drugs. "Futurama Into The Wild Green Yonder" Is Below The "Crap" Category. The Animation Is Good & Thats About It. The Plot Is Uninteresting. Now I've Seen The Futurama Movies Here Is How I Rate Them: Bender's Game Bender's Big Score The Beast With A Billion Backs Into The Wild Green Yonder This Is Good For A Skit In "Play School" But Not As A Full Length Movie About Futurama. AVOID.

liquidcelluloid-1 Direct-to-DVD movie; Genre: Sci-Fi, Animated Comedy; Content Rating: Unrated (contains adult content & animated violence); Available: DVD and Blu-Ray; Perspective: Contemporary (star range: 1 – 4); After 4 hugely rewarding seasons on the Fox Network (not that they knew it) and 3 DVD movies, Matt Groening and David X Cohen's cancelled, cult sci-fi saga "Futurama" comes to a rollicking close with "Into the Wild Green Yonder". The movies were a reward for those who got slapped in the face by Fox's abrupt cancellation and were underwhelmed by the run's finale, "The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings" in which the show micro-focused its entire story down to a love story between future fish-out-of-water Phillip J. Fry (Billy West) and one-eyed mutant space pilot Leela (Katy Segel). "Yonder" is the epic finale we've been waiting for and I'm thrilled to report it delivers.As always, "Futurama's" focus is still its unique cast of characters and their conflicting motives, but "Yonder" is a bigger, funnier, more epic ending, worthy of the vast, detailed universe this series created. As a movie, it's the best of the 4 DVDs which says a lot given how highly I still regard "The Beast With A Billion Backs". Where "Beast" was an ambitious and sharp story it still felt disjointed and episodic, where "Yonder" is the first film to feel like a real theatrical release movie from start to finish. It's smoother, with a more complex story, than "The Simpsons Movie".As with any "Futurama" story, it would be almost criminal to describe the plot: both because it is so delightfully convoluted in its accurate and liberal basis in science fact and sci-fi convention and I do not wish to spoil the numerous wonderful twists and turns herein. However, in the first few minutes events transpire that set our heroes on a collision course toward series end and saving the galaxy: Al Gore-style! Amy Wong's (Lauren Tom) dad is building a new casino on Mars, but his plans to put in a massive mini-golf park threaten the endangered species of the entire galaxy which raises the ire of eco-femenistas (led by radio genius Phil Hendrie in duel role as a female member of the show's Waterfall hippie family and her brother) as well as a secret society Fry gets involved with when an accident leaves him with the ability to read minds. Oh yeah, and Bender has an affair with the Don-Bot's wife.Almost none of the action in "Yonder" takes place on Earth or at Planet Express. With Leela joining the femenists, Fry in a double-cross to save the universe and Bender dodging the mob and joining up with Zapp Brannigan (again West), the characters spend the movie away from or at odds with each other. Cohen and co-writer Ken Keeler have scripted a clever chess game where each story and each motive weaves together beautifully, all building to a finale that finds that perfect balance between being a thrilling sci-fi adventure and a satisfying character conflict for our 3 unlikely heroes."Yonder" is also the funniest movie of the 4 and at times more laugh-out-loud than the series. When Fry (now reading minds) and Bender (with the DonBot's lucky Robot's Foot - his own) go head to head in a high-stakes poker tournament the scene is one of the funniest and most cleverly constructed the show has ever done. "Yonder" has a lot of fun with Bender in this movie. Bender is the kind of anti-hero character that usually has his own story as it is hard to write him into helping the gang save the world in the primary story without cheating his character's nature. "Yonder" finds a perfect place for him. The movie also has a load of fun with the eco-femenists. Few shows make fun of women the way "Futurama" has the balls too with Cohen and Keeler's unique vision of male/female clichés turning "Yonder's" conflicts into a damn-near battle of the sexes. It's refreshing. The movie gets less riotous as the 3rd act comes and the stakes of the story are raised, but that's the case with any action/comedy.This is a fun one, people. "Into the Wild Green Yonder" fires on all cylinders, deliver the kind of originality and imagination that only "Futurama" can. As funny and poignant as any episode of the series. Both a great movie and a great finale for this much loved series. Don't miss it.* * * * / 4

Jackson Booth-Millard This is the fourth film, and questionably the last (at least at present) time to see the characters from Matt Groening's second most (if not more) popular show Futurama. Basically the parents of Amy Wong (Lauren Tom) are planning to destroy old Mars Vegas and make a more extravagant, which is not going down well with Eco-feminist protesters. In the protesting, Fry (Billy West) has a piece of jewellery belonging to feminist leader Frida Waterfall (Phil Hendrie) accidentally lodged in his brain, making him able to hear people's thoughts. It also means many other mind readers want him to help save the world from potential destruction from the "Dark Ones", and it has some significance to Mr. Wong wanting to create a big planetary version of mini golf. Meanwhile Leela (Katey Sagal), along with many other female characters join the feminists to protest the damage being done to mother nature, turning into a near war getting the President, Richard Nixon's Head (also West) and Zapp Branigan (West again) involved, with Bender (John Di Maggio) eventually joining them. All the boys, Prof. Farnsworth (West again), Dr. Zoidberg (West again) and Hermes Conrad (Phil LaMarr) are also joining in the battle, which in the end sees a nasty blood-sucking leech Leela cares for being the "Dark One", a violet dwarf system creating a giant sperm flying into a star, creating an Encyclopod embryo which houses all of Earth's extinct creatures, and incinerates the "Dark One", and then leaves. The film ends with the Planet Express being chased by Zapp, and instead of surrendering, they are deciding whether or not to go into a wormhole ahead of them, this is when Fry and Leela finally say they love each other, and they do go in. This is where the question lies, will they be back? Also starring David Herman as The Number 9 Man, Dawnn Lewis as LaBarbara Conrad, Snoop Dogg, Family Guy's Seth MacFarlane as Mars Vegas Singer and Penn Jillette (partner Teller isn't voicing, but he is credited). There are some alright gags, and there are one or two interesting moments, and of course there is that ending, but if it is the last one, it's not a brilliant one, but worth watching. The TV series was number 26 on The 100 Greatest Cartoons. Good!

mathews-rr-1 (WARNING CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS) Overall i think that ITWGY was a great way to end the futurama series, many plot points are wrapped up , but there is the possibility of a continuation. The series has always been able to mix seriousness and comedy quite well. Like wise the move combines great comic moments(SPOILER such as the vice president dying, Leela's run from the law, Fry's psychic power, and the feminist revolt tactics) with more dramatic moments(Leela and Fry's relationship finally being resolved). I think that the way fry and Leela banded together at the end along with the rest of the cast to start a new adventure was a great way to end the movie, and quite possibly the whole series.The ending was very well formulated and sweet, but without being to corny or melodramatic. However i do feel as though the movie was flawed in some areas; for one it seems as if nobody was quite sure how to use bender in this film, he has several subplots(the majority of which lead nowhere), however he does play an important role in the end of the movie. I personally did not mind bender being in this movie less(it felt as though he took over the end of the series and many of the movies, but they at least could 've written his plot more legibly.Furthermore cubert and Hermes son are nowhere to be seen, and appear to be abandoned at the end, however their characters never really did much so again its not a big deal. Lastly i feel that the overall moral of the story (protect the environment, otherwise we may become and endangered species)while important came across as very preachy and non subtle in some portions. However i feel as though the movie managed to mix comedy, drama, romance, and a bit of social commentary quite well together in what appears to be their send off. 8 out of 10
